i MULTIPLE ROLLER HEAD AND GAUGE:
Filed Jan. 3o, 1951 lNVENTOR @MJA/Amm jg ATTORNEY5 Patented Feb. 9, 1954 MULTIPLE ROLLER HEAD AND GAUGE Paul W. Johnson, Bloomfield, Conn., assignor, by mesne assignments, toThe Johnson Gage Development Company,` a corporation Voi Connecticut ApplicationJanuary 30, 1951, Serial No.6208,621
The invention relates to a multiple roller gaging head or cradle for the type of gage utilizing a member carrying a pair of gaging rollers spaced from each other which member is mounted for pivotal movement to swing the pair of gaging rollers into open and gaging position towards and away from a cooperating gaging roller means which usually will include a single gaging roller. 'I'he invention also relates to a gage including the aforesaid multiple roller cradle or head. Heretofore a gage of this type comprised a frame or head carrying a single pair of spaced rollers or with mounting provision for a single pairvof gaging rollers.
The gage has application for testing cylindrical parts of all kinds; however it nds its greatest usefulness for gaging threaded parts. In order to gage a threaded test part ofV a different pitch and/or diameter with a gage carrying a single pair of gaging rollers, it is necessary to replace the rollers of different pitch and diameter and/or replacement of the pivotal frame or head carrying the spaced gaging rollers. The multiple gage head or cradle herein provided with Athree or more bearings for gaging rollers accommodates for three or more pairs or sets of gaging rollers. With mounting means being provided for five gaging rollers the gaging of ten standard threads may be accomplished by the multiple head and by a proper combination of rolls, a total of thirty different pitch and diameter combinations 'can be secured.
It is an object of the invention to construct a multiple roller gaging head or cradle which can be accommodated to gage a large number of different sizes of cylindrical partsr and a large number of different sizes and/or pitches of screw threads.
Another object isv to construct a gage which can be set up to gage a large number of different diameters and/ or pitches of screw threads merely by replacement of one or two gaging rollers.
A still further object is to construct a gage provided with a multiple gaging -roller head as aforesaid.
Other objects of the invention will be more apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanyingv drawings illustrating a vpreferred embodiment thereof in which: Figure 1 is a top viewof the gage for gaging screw threads with a section through a gaging roller head;
12 Claims. (Cl. 33-178) and a Asectionjthrough a vportion ofthe f 2 Figure 2 is a side view of the gage of Figure l; and
Figure 3 is a sideV view of a modified form of stop Vmeans vfor the multiple `gaging roller head. The multiple roller cradle or head particularly illustrated is provided with ve holes to receive screws for securing five gaging roller studs thereto. With six pairs of rollers for the head, it will accommodate this head and a gage carrying the same for the following threads:
National Coarse National Fine N0. 6-32 NC N0. 6-40 NF No. 8-32 NO No. 8-36 NF No. 10-24 NC No. l0-32 NF N0. 12-24 NC No. 12-28 NF A third roller is required for each pair for the cooperating gaging means. l l
It will be observed that one set of rollers will accommodate for Nos. 10 and 1 2 of the National Coarse (NC) thread; a second set will accommodate the National Fine (NF) No. 12; a third set will accommodate Nos. 6 and 8 of the National Coarse and No. 10 of the National Fine; a fourth set will accommodate No. 8 of the National Fine; a fifth set will accommodate No. 5 of the .NationalCoarse and No. 6 of the National Fine; and a sixth set will accommodate No. 5 of the National Fine thread. Ordinarily to construct a gage having a separate pivotal gaging segment or frame there must be provided six separate frames, each'with a pivot bearing and each with a pair of roller stud holes making a total-of six pivot bearings and twelve roller stud holes for six sets of gaging rollers. The multiple roller head of the invention requires merely one pivot bearing and five roller stud holes thereby substantially reducing the work or manufacture entailed in providing and accurately grinding these bearings with the result that a gage is produced for ten different diameters and/or threads at a substantial reduction in the cost of providing gaging equipment for each size and pitch of thread.
Similarly by providing a head with six gage roller stud holes a gage is provided which will accommodate an increased number of diierent diameters and/or pitches'of screw threads such as from M1 inch to '1% of 'an inch differing by 1% of an inch in diameter. A headproviding seven differently spaced holes will provide for a greater number of sizes and/or pitch variations. u A
It will be noted too that a substantial saving in set up time is secured since the roller between Nos. 6 and 8 positions or mounted upon hole 30 need not be changed since these are both 32 pitch and likewise the roller carried by hole 32 need not be changed since Nos. l and 12 are of the same pitch, that is, 24 NC. Similarly position No. may beset up and Nos.. 8.or l0 may be set up `without disturbing the gaging` rollers on No. 5 position so long as there are no threads to be tested and no occasion to set up for the other positions.
The gage includes a frame Mi'` of any desired form that shown being generally a U-shaped construction having a post H. forming, one leg of the U-shaped frame and post t2 forming the second leg spaced therefrom. The post l2 carries a guide shown as a groove I 3 in which is carried Y a slider I4. The slider carriesa cooperating gaging roller means which usually provides forl v a single gaging roller. Any desired mounting means for the gaging, roller may Vbe used; -that shown includes a stud or mounting hole i5 in the slider which hole receivesa screw i9 to clamp: gaging roller bearing or stud.' ,l5 upon which is rotatably mounted'a gaging roller il. A clamping screw i8 retains the slide and gaging roller in adiusted position. A headed screw 2i) retains the gaging roller upon the stud. ForY an indicator type of' gage as illustrated the post l2' is pivotally mounted upon the frame lli by means of a suitable pivot means 2i. The studs I6 may be of the eccentric type for adjustment.
The frame post it carries any suitable means for mounting the multiple roller head thereupon that shown being a screw hole which receives a screw 22 for securing a head stud 23' to the 'frame and upon this stud is mounted a multiple roller head 24. The head stud 23 may be eccentric but with the adjustment provided by the slider i4 this is unnecessary- The roller head has a bearing 25 to receive the stud. A screw 26 threaded into the stud and having. a'screw head larger than the stud. retains the head thereupon.
The multiple roller head has a plurality of spaced stud or mounting holes 29', 39 3l.. 32' and 33- the centers or axes of which are on one circuznferencey or circle, but are spaced` apart dilerent distances; the center or axis of the circle is the center of the stud 23. For the. threads listed above, in position No.. 5, the holes 29 and 33 are spaced apart .576 of an inch, for position No. 6 the holes 29 and 3Q are spaced apart .587 of an inch, for position No. 8 ,60 of `an inch.. and. for position No. l0 .632 of an. inch, and for position No. l2 are spacedy apart .655 of an inch. This spacing determined by the sum. of the radii at the pitch line or circle of the gaging roll l'land the test part T, multiplied by the square root of 3. With this spacing or approximate spacing the tnv-o gaging rollers oi the pair engage the test part on the periphery thereof; spaced. closely to 120 apart. This spacing is not essentialrand there may 'ce considerable variation in the spacing. l-lcweverv with a. three roll gage `it is desirable to have each roller engage the periphery of .the test part at approximately 120 apart since amongst other things it provides'a better test for eccentricity, diameter and staggered thread. The angular spacing is determined by 360 divided by the number of rollers. With the spacing between the centers of the gaging rollers or roller studs or screw holes bearings determined, the circle or radius thereof upon which they are to be located can be calculated.
Although in the illustrated' construction of 4 multiple roller head there are shown five roller Stud or mounting holes, it is clear that the head may have provision for three or more holes or gaging roller mounting means spaced from each other' and gaging rollers carried thereby. Each hole receives any form of roller mounting means, the form illustrated including, a screw y3.4 which secures a roller stud I'E to the head and upon each stud is mounted a gaging roller 3B, the gaging rollers having gaging ribs 31 or Vs thereon of the proper pitch for the thread on the test part.. The gaging rollers El' and 36 are identical as to pitch and. diameter and when allowed suiicient axial movementv may be and are identical all respects. For gaging plain cylindrical or conical surfaces the gaging rollers may be plain cylindrical or conical rollers. Stop mea-ns of any desired form is provided in order to limit the extent of pivotal movement oi the multiple head at least in one direction. The construction illustrated in Figures l and 2 includes a stop flat carried by the multiple roller. head for each pair oiholes in the head or mounting means and gaging rollers. For example for No. 5 the stop flat 49 is used, 4l is for No'. 6,42 for No. 8, i3v for No'. l0 and 44 for No. l2 position or pair of gaging rollers. l
v The stop means also includes a projection 41 carriedk by the frame post li' in which. is received a stop screw 48 which may be locked in position by a loci: screw 49. This stop screw is located off center from the head stud 23 which enables the head 24 with its gaging rollers to swing far enough away from the cooperating gaging roller il. for the insertion and removal of a test part 'Tf to and from gaging position such. as represented by a line extending' through the center of the bearing f6 and the head stud 23. The stop fiat happensl to be located at right angles to a line through the centers. of the holes 29 and 33.4 lt is clear however that the flat for position No. 5 and the other positions may be otherwise located angularly with. respect to the roller centers and. the position of the stop screw 48 located to engage the stop iiat intended for this position. A similar stop flat 4l, 42', 43 and 4l!l is provided for each pair of gaging rollers or mounting holes in the head'.
In Figure 3 a stop means is illustrated which limits rotation in one direction only. It is viewed as though taken on line 3 3 of Figure l. This means includes a stop flat in the form of a stop shoulder means for each position and includes shoulders 52, 53, 54, l55 and 56 for the live roller head illustrated. This shoulder means is .a ratchet wheel or multiple stop element in form secured to or integra-l with the head and takes the place of the stop means formed by the stop iats 4B, 4l, 42, 43, 44 respectively. A stop pawl 5T pivoted on a pin 58 is carried by the frame p ost I! and` a spring 59 presses. the pawl against the ratchet Wheel. With this form of stop means the head can turn a complete circle or more in one direction, that is, counterclockwise as shown in Figures 2 and 3 but the shoulder limits movement in the other direction to gaging position for the respective pair of gaging rollers. Itis limmaterial which part, namelyl the ratchet wheel or pawl, is carriedl by the frame and the other is then carried by the. head. The part carried by a post 62 which is an integral part of the frame I6. The operating or contact bu-tton 63 may be located above the center of the pivot 2| by a distance of two units Where the distance -to the center of the roller Il is three units. This provides a 1:1 reading taking into consideration that with three gaging rollers angularly spaced, a diameter is not measured.
The gage particularly shown is of the indicating type, that is the cooperating gaging means is mounted for movement, a pivotal movement being shown, and an indicator indicates the relative acceptability of the test part with respect to a master thread or part. The invention is applicable to a go and not go type of gage in which the cooperating gaging means is not movable or Xed. The rollers shown are ridged for screw threads; however, for plain cylindrical or conical surfaces the gaging rollers may be plain surfaced rollers.
This 1nvention is presented to fill a need for improvements in a multiple roller head and gage. It is understood that various modifications in structure, as well as changes in mode of operation, assembly, and manner of use, may and often do occur to those skilled in the art, especially after benefiting from the teachings of an invention. Hence, it will be unders-tood that this disclosure is illustrative of preferred means of embodying the invention in useful form by explaining the construction, operation and advantages thereof.
